Blair is two months old! I can't believe it. We went to the doctor today for her two month checkup and shots :(. Thank goodness the nurse was a speedy one. I had a bottle ready, so she didn't cry long. She doesn't let much get in the way of food! It's a good thing. Dr. Logan said that babies trying to overcome lung disease have a hard time gaining weight, but she's doing ok so far. She weighed 6 lbs 14 oz when we went for our first appointment last week and weighed 7 lbs 4 oz today!

Blair is really loving being talked to and held. I'll rephrase that and say that she is officially spoiled. She even coughs a little to get attention. The pacifier is really cute too, until she cries every time she spits it out! Since we've been home she has really started smiling a lot. She does a lot of mouth moving and has managed to make a few sounds other than cries too.

Brad has a knack for making her smile.

She cried the first time I gave her a bath, but she seems to like it now.

Brad is my husband of 6 years and the reason I live across the branch. From a very young age he knew he'd be a farmer. God gave him the love and the talent -- and he's the best looking and the best dressed farmer I know! He's funny, creative, and he's the most wonderful husband and father. He's the one that can make Blair light up like no other.

Blair is four! We are so blessed to have her. She was born very sick, but God gave her strength and brought her through it. She has hearing loss called Auditory Neuropathy and wears hearing aids. She also has chronic lung disease, but you wouldn't know by seeing her! She is the busiest, funniest little thing who keeps us laughing and on our toes. I thank God for her every day.

Leighton is the happy roly poly who joined our family this summer. He has been a joy and is as sweet as his big sister! He's such a blessing, and we're so thankful for him!
